A marriage of expert and complementary b2b minds

Upp B2B was born when leading Manchester-based b2b specialist agencies Marketecture and Clock Creative got together in August 2016 as the result of a merger.

With a combined track record of over 30 years in business, the two agencies saw an obvious and complementary fit to feed their shared ambition to create a mid-sized independent b2b agency with the ability to aim higher. The merger has also given the two agencies the critical mass to achieve their bold expansion plans over the next three years.

On the other side of Manchester in 2003, Max and Michael Clark established Marketecture. Again with a 100% focus on b2b, the agency’s mission was, to inspire b2b marketing thinking within a strong commercial context.

Along the way both agencies have picked up many awards, worked with global brands and fast-growing b2b businesses to do some amazing work. Brands including DHL, Reed Elsevier, Financial Times, Rolls Royce, Transport for Greater Manchester and Radio Systems® Corporation.

The agency now has billings of over £2million with a bold vision to become a top 20 UK b2b agency by 2018.
